pants! 



■ ot pants were certainly the "m" thing on the 
Mario film set in North Cardina after one of 
the film crew set his knickers on fire I Mario, 
superbly enacted by rnegastar Bob 
Hoskins — star of hits like Who Framed Roger 
Rabbit, was walking between gratings which 
were gushing huge flames when a sad 
technician began leaping around in agony, 
desperatefy trying to pour water down his 
strides. 

And this must have been the most expensive 
panty fire ever cos after the bright spark crept up 
his trouser leg and ignited his boxers, the whole 
scene had to be reshot at a cost of £100,000! 
The shooting of the $40 million Super Mario 
Bros film, also starring Dennis Hopper and 
directed by Roland Jaffe, is now complete 
despite the set backs. 

I Bad news though dudes, cos the movie, 
which was shot in the unlikely setting of an empty cement factory, is unlikely to hit the big 
screens for Christmas — now it's scheduled for release around Easter Don't miss it — we 
certainly won 't be I 




Codies' Trickle 
Dickie Eddy mounts 
his very special 
friend, Nelly, who 
looks absolutely 
nothing like a Plug 
Thru! 



Talking Italian 

Speaking of Mario, despite appearing not to 
have two brain cells to rub together, the 
chubby little Italian plumber has gone all 
swotty! While having a break from his 
adventures in Mario World our pizza scoffing 
friend donned a mortarboard and cape and 
toddled off to schools around the country 
leaching typing to the masses. 

The Mario Teaches Typing program's for 
the IBM PC or compatibles and includes 
enhanced graphics and sound from the 





original Mario games, coupled with 
an advanced typing trainer. 

To keep the Princess swimming 
out of the reach of a giant fish or 
keep Mario bouncing on the turtles, 
words have to be typed. The faster 
the typing, the more points are 
scored and the characters survive 
their adventure. 

The last thing Mario wants is for 
his Nintendo fans to get jealous, so 
sit tight and wait for his next sngs 
escapade. Super Mario Karti 



We thought Mario 
was a plumber but 
it seems he's been 
moon-lighting as a 
typing teacher — 
for PC brats af that. 
Crary! Pictured left 
Mario demonstrates 
the wonder of 
dipping your fingers 
into indelible ink. 
(Don't try this at 
home kids, it could 
be dangerous). 



Codemasters 
plug 




G 



ame Genie inventors, 
Codies, has unveifeda 
revolutionary — and 
cheaper — line in nes 
cartplaying — the Plug Thru. 

Shaped like the Genie, the 
Plug Thru cart has the game 
chips incorporated in it so all you 
do is slap a regular nes cart in 
the slot and wack it in your 
machine. 

The new carts are compatible 
with all European Nintendo decks 
and because they have less components 
than a regular cart it's cheaper to produce— 
Micro Machines and The Fantastic 
Adventures of Dizzy, out November will cost 
just £29.95 — good stuff! 

The Plug Thru will replace the planned 
American Aladdin system, — a master 
cartridge into which specially made cheapo 
slave' carts fit which Codies didn't feel was 
quite right for the UK market 

Codemasters elephant man, Richard 
Eddy reckons the Plug Thai's better than the 
Aladdin and hopes to get the carts out for 
under twenty quid within a year. 

He said: When things are up and 
running, we hope to get the carts out a lot 
cheaper— but as they are they II still cost a 
lot less than regular nes carts.' 




Fit for a king 

Recently-crowned WWFchampion of 
Europe, the British Bulldog, Oavey 
Boy Smith r shows just what he gets 
up to after going a few bone- 
crunching rounds in the old squared 
circle. Yep, he bashes buttons on the 
baby green screen with his rave WWF 
title — what a knockout!

Stand by all 
Game 
Bolsters 
cos Date I 
Electronics 
haven't forgotten 
about you. The 
latest addition to 
their neat 
cheating cartridge 
range is a great 
Pro Action 
Replay for the 
Game Boy. 

It has similar 
features to its 
smes sister 

including a training mode to find infinite 
lives, energy, power and ammo. 

Anything that can be counted in a game 
can be altered to make carts more playable. 

Codes are inputted onto a special screen 
that flips up when the Game is turned on — 
one switches the cheats on and off while 
playing the game and the other is a reset 
switch for inputting new codes. 

There's loadsa codes for newcomers 
and gamers will soon be coming up with 
cheats by the bucket load which we'll print 
in N-FORCE. 

It's a great device if you've got a really 
tough game but the urge to cheat might 
spoil your fun and crack those games loo 
easily, so exercise willpower! 

In the shops now, Pro Action Replay 
costs £34.99, nes owners stay tuned... 



Look at these corking new nes joysticks from Cheetah — all in the form of your fave 
movie characters, original or what?! The Characteristick range kicks off with Batman 
Returns, Men 3, Terminator 2, Bart Simpson and Batman Animation— based on tf 
cartoon series, 

We haven't had a waggle with these £1 4,99 gems as yet but if they play as good as they 
look we're onto a good thing — full rundown next ish.

the best way is by competing in

practice and championship mode plus 
a multi-player option with up to four skilled 
scalies battling it out together,! 

I'll name that tuna in one!

News! 





Slick Sticks 

Tl homley Distribution has launched the 
Trailblazer — a multi-function joystick 
to replace the snee joy pad. It has 
arcade quality buttons, slow motion, 
auto fire on all fire buttons and a turbo speed 
option — all for £29,39. 

tf you prefer a more conventional pad 
then the Quest is your man. It has all the 
normal functions of a snes joypad plus a 



Voyager 

slow motion and turbo fire, costing £'4.99. 

Thornley have also produced the first 
sensible adaptor for the snes. The big 
problem with American and Japanese to UK 
adaptors up to now have been their 
flimsiness. 

The Thoroley Game Master takes a new 
approach putting the UK and imported 
cartridge together instead of at right angles. 
This makes the whole system much more 
stable and safe. Price to be arrayed. 

Down boy! 

For the Game Boy there's the Light Master 
which lights and magnifies the screen in one 
unit. 

For those who tend to bash around their 
handheld try the Play 'n' Go — a special 
hard case that the Game Boy slips into. All 
the function buttons can be accessed and 
the Game Boy should never be damaged 
again! Prices on these Stems are to be 
announced.

Garbage 

HI! Okay, if s rime 
to squash a rumour 
about Contra fit 
The Alien Wars (as 
it's known in the 
States). Is it soon to 
bo released in the 
UK as Super 
Probote<tor or 
what? Basically, 
yes. Konami's 
changed the name 
for the European 
market and turned 
fhe human sprites 
into robots cos 
according to 
Konami 
spokeswoman, 
Pain Griffiths, men 
being kilted 
wouldn't go down 
well with Europe's 
sun-bed pinchers 
(yes, you know 
who you are! I 
Gameplay, 
however, remains 
the same. 

Another 
whisper's that a 
software company 
is producing a 
chip for 

incorporation in 
snes carts boosting 
processor capacity 
to 32-bit, due for 
completion by 
Christmas. This 
means arcade 
quality in the

we get it,

eye out for Asterix

Hobgoblin, Sandman, 
Vulture and Dr Octo 
pus have ail come out of retirement 
and are ready to do some damage. 

Crazy crooks 

The slimy Dr Octopus has been 
plotting the icing on the cake of his 
criminal career — taking over the 
world. 

Being a bit of a wimp he has to nope 
in his villain friends forming The 
Sinister Six. With ail these super- 
villains together, no one s safe and no 



Graphics are 

very dark 
and sinister- 
looking 



one's standing in their way (except our 
wall climbing handyman?) 

Each super-villain has his own 
levels ot mayhem taking plucky Peter 
Parker through sewers, suburbs and 
wild warehouses. The comic 

characters make up 
the end-oMevel 
bosses with gun men 
and rats ready to sap 
energy all' through trie 
levels. The game 
comes to a climax in 
Dr Octopus' castle 
hideout with arms and 
legs everywhere! 

To survive these crooked capers 
Spidey has a few tricks up his sleeve 
He leaps high in the air over boxes and 
enemies, climbs walls, fires small 
webs, kicks, punches and uses his 
tamed swinging web. 

Arachno action 

To fuel these arachnid antics there are 
piles of power-ups dotted about. Use 
special items like keys and bombs in 



specific locations, but capsules of web 
fluid are essential pick-ups. 

All the Spider-Man graphics are 
very dark and sinister- looking. There's 
lots of detail in the backgrounds and 
some excellent smooth animation on 
the web si inger himself. 

Spidey jumps, rolls and swings 
through the air perfectly — it's a joy to 
watch. The atmospheric music 
accompanying the action's great tool 

The early stages have different 
types of gunmen to contend with. 
Some stand dead still and fire— 
they're so stupid Spidey can sneak up 
behind them and bop them on the 
head! Others flip around but by 
ducking, all their bullets miss. 

Occasionally a huge gun turns up 
with real bone-crunching missiles — 
these can t be switched off but should 
be avoided. Some of the most 
annoying energy sappers are the rats! 
These little blighters are real kamikaze 
rodents. They jump from tall platforms 
onto Spidey's head, then nibble away!

Hi y'all, how's it hangin'? Well, what 
a hectic month it's been — Mario 
teaching nobby PC users how to 
type, more cart releases than you 
can shake a stick at and the Big N 
taking a massive anti-rental stand. 
What do you lot think of this issue, 
by the way? I reckon rentals would 
be great and if we shout loud 
enough we might just get them 
introduced. It'd save us a wad of 
dosh and cut down on the number of 
drossy games currently slinking 
around. Drop us a line and let us 
know your views and keep those

Barmy boyfriend 

IVe just bought an nes off my 
boyfriend because he's bought a 
Sega Mega Drive. 

I'd really WkeSuper Mario World 
but IVe been told you can only get 
it on the snes. Could you help me 
with thss one as nobody else wants 
to know (round here they're all into 
Sega}! 

By the way, I think your mag's 
great — keep up with the very good 
work! 

■ Candice Povey, Wrexham, 
Clwyd 

Nope, sorry, you can't get this 
Mario extravaganza for the nes, 
hut you can gat Super Mario 
Bros 1.2 or 3 which are heaps 
ot fun. 

By the way, how can you 
possibly stay with a man who's

Must be love 

N- FORCE is the best mag for Nintendo 
players, but why can't there be just a 
mag only for the nes. There's one for 
the Game Boy and the snes, but I've 
never seen one just for us brill people 
who own a nes. 

Please could you try and do 
something about it, and make it clear 
that girls read games mags and have 
consoles. Maybe you could even get 
female staff to review the games, 

■ Lucy Glazer, Fordingbridge, Hants 
PS: I've fallen in love with Shades, 

he's just the coolest. 

Well Lucy {great name), I reckon 
there's no dedicated nes mag cos 
there simply wouldn't be enough 
new releases to fill it. At least 
N-FORCE still covers 3-bit stuff 
(unlike other inferior mags) and fills 
you in on all the hottest happenings 
— so keep reading and you won't go 
far wrong. 

As to your other comments, what 
the hell do you think I am — scotch 
mist!? I may be a bit odd but I was 
still a girl last time I looked and I 
want to make sure that more girls 
do get Into consoles — don't let 
those fellas have all the fun! 

As for falling for Shades, what 
can I say but offer my condolences, 
you sad, sad specimen! 

■ Ed 



Keep it simple 

Why don't Nintendo incorporate a 
junior game within the carts? My four- 
year-old nephew loves playing Zetda, 
but he doesn't oat very far. 

lt d be good to have a simple 
version especially for youngsters with 
maybe three easy levels in which to 
defeat Ganon. This way both children 
and ad jits could enjoy the same game, 

The idea seems obvious and simple 
to me, but perhaps it would upset 
Nintendo's profits too much for their 
liking. 

■ Robert Charters, Castle Bromwich, 
Birmingham 

Ha — I reckon you just want an easy 
vers ion for yourself — come on 
admit it! 

There are different difficulty 
levels on most games — particularly 
platformy types and some, like Big 
Nose The Caveman, seem to be 
actually aimed at kids. 

With advent ure/roleplaying 
games like Zeftfa they're really just 
too complex to have different 
difficulty levels. 

Interestingly, the N-FORCErs 
were struggling with Zelda: A Link 
To The Past and were helped out by 
a si K-y ear-old who'd already 
completed It — so there may be 
hope for your nephew yett

Console crazy 

There was a console-crazy guy from 
Hertfordshire who owned a Mega Drive 
(spit, spit) with loadsa games, but 
something was wrong. He wanted 
more from his life. Much more. He 
wanted something slick and grey 
(ahem), something wilh a vast range of 
colours, something with style (unlike 
Shades). 

Anyway, to cut a short story even 
shorter he sold the Mega, became 
Super and lived fiendishly ever after! 

1. Does the snes have more colours 
than the Amiga 500? 

2. Does Nintendo have any plans 
for an F-Zero IP 

3. Is there a converter which lets 
you play nes games on the snes? 

4. Will any of you be on the new 
series of Gamesmaster? 

Please answer these questions and

Letter of the month!

Total washout! 



I thought I'd write giving my thoughts about the magazine and its writers. 

Okay, the magazine first. If I said it was much better than Total that 
wouldn't be much of a compliment. I don't like criticising people's hard efforts, 
but I can make an excuse, or two, for criticising Total and, to an extent, 
Computer and Video Games — the biggest being their patronising style of 
writing — please N-FORCE do NOT patronise your audience or you'll lose 
them. Treating adults like children isn't conducive to long-term sales. 

The tone and style isn't bad and the layout's pretty nigh spot on. As for the 
staff, well here goes nothing: 

ACE: get a new nickname as weil as a new photo. 

ED: I don't want to be sexist but 'phwoar' perhaps covers it. Are you 
married? 

GUNNS: should be Sad Bastard of the Month/Day/Hoy r every 
Wo nth/Day Hour. Doesn't he know that all that pseudo- macho crap is out? 
Get a life, son! 

02; nice writing style, needs a little more authority though. 

SHADES: as David Francie once said Vh dear, oh dear, oh dear'. 

Hope J haven't upset anyone, except Gunns! Finally, I'd just like to say 
how good and great it was to read that MicroProse is supporting the snes< 

I've been a long-time fan of theirs, since I got my Amiga, and if they can 
transfer the realism from that to the snes, then I'm sure both they and the 
Nintendo playing public will aff be very happy indeed. 

■ Colin Mifcheil, Ayrshire, Scotland. 

My dear Collie-baby, would we presume to patronise you, you sweet 
young thing?! Seriously though, if anyone tries to patronise me they get 
a severe case of tongue-lash so I wouldn't dream of doing it to others. 

I'm one of those young, free, single peeps who's totally married to 
her Job — so dream on honey. 

Gunns thanks you for your sentiments and would like to Introduce 
you to his very special friend, can't remember the name*.. Ugi or Uti or 
something. .. You really upset Shades — he actually blinked (but you 
couldn't tell cos he had shades on}! 

We've had a quick butchers at MicroProse s Super Strike Eagle on 
the snes and I'm sure you won't be disappointed. 

■ Ed 




Another T-shirt winner, Kristion 
Ambrose of Hertford, Herts, proves to 
the world that the N-FORC£rs are a 
force to be reckoned with [above}* And 
yes Shades, you do have to clean up 
that dragon poo when this is all over.

Ode to 0i 

Have a poem: 

Oz Green is a real git 

He's the sort of guy I'd like to hit 

His Aussie tone 

Makes me moan and groan 

With his didgeridoo 

(I'm going to the loo) 

And his bendy stick 

(I'm going to be sick) 

Good grief 

Go drown yourself in a corai 
reef 

You Aussies are all the same 
I'd like to make you lame 
You're a piece of cack 
A right sad old act 
But nevermind 
Someone must like your 
mindless drivel 
Even if it is only a squirrel. 



Sorry Oz, but i hate Minogue- 
lovin J geezers, they drive me mad. 

Nice poem eh? 
■ Owain Jones, Machynlleth, 
Powys, 

Oh well done slap 'ed. Oz was so 
upset at your little gem that he's 
hanging upside down in the fifing 
cabinet, gazing fixedly at his Kylle 
Minogue keyring and refuses to 
come out no matter how much

■ I own a Game Boy and 
there are a few questions 
I'd like to- ask: 

1 . Can you use Japanese and 
American carts on the Game Boy or 
do you have to get a Universal 
Adaptor. If you do how much does it 
cost? 

2 J liked the first two ChopLifters. 
Is there going to be a third? 

3. Is there a Zefda game on the 
Game Boy? 

Hope your next issues are as good 
as the last ones I 
M David Mills. Bristol 

You don't need any kind 
, V% ■ of adaptor to run Jap or 
)r^^m US carts on the Game 

Boy — it runs anything! 
Just buy your game from any of the 
importers and plug it straight in, 
Reading the instructions in 
Japanese might be a problem 
though! 

JVC Isn't planning another 
Chopiifter game this year hut as 
they're so popular there may be 
one in 1993. 

As for Zetda on the Game Boy, 
Nintendo aren't planning one : but

shouldn't, The latest official

1 . in Issue Two I saw an advert 
about the new Super Mario Land 2. Can 
you tell me more about it please? 

2. Where in London can l find Solar 
Striker cm the Game Boy for sale? 

3. When you review Game Boy

The great new Super 
Mario Land on the Game

enemies, new stages 



and more power-up abilities for 
our hero, All the graphics are 
bigger with more detail in the 
sprites, plus the cart has a battery 
back-up so players can save their 
position! It'll be released for 
Christmas. 

When you can't find a game 
locally, try the mail order importers 
— there are phone numbers on ads 
and reviews throughout N- FORCE. 

Blue screen shots when the 
Game Boy only comes in yellow! 
Yup, we tint them to make our

2, 1 think it's good the way you put

you do the same for the Game Boy 
Game Genie? 

3. is there a joystick for the Game

wait for the game to confirm details. 

We'll be putting Game Boy Game 
Genie codes into the tips section as

can send in your own too and 
maybe win a prize! 

There's no actual joystick for the 
Game Boy but the Switchstlx from

Who's been eating cheese then? Stepping into the

creahorvs ore alivd Watch out for Big Mama.

M m j i it t it i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i 





m Holli 
m Would... 
Well, who 
wouldn't sitting 
next to the Manic 
Marshal? NOT! 

Poor Jack Deebs. Artist, comic- 
book illustrator and ex-con, he's 
kept his coof in the sfammer 
fantasising over a world he's 
created — a crazy patchwork quilt of 
heavy metal logos, cartoon characters 
punch drunk with attitude problems 
and backdrops out of a Disney film on 
drugs. 

He thinks it's all a dream — but he's 
wrong and now the cartoon characters 
are going to show him just how wrong 
he is. 

Jack gets sucked into Cool World 
— where safes and pianos fall from 
windows, buildings crumble at a touch 
and everything \$ pissed off to see a 
no id strolling around fhumanoid that 
is). 

That's everything cept the beautiful 
Holli Would — the hippest 'doodle' 
ever to slink on two sexy legs. She 



sings at the local 
nightclub and would 
love to get out of Cool 
World and back into the 
real world. 

That's where you come 
in Jack — can you trust a 
smile built on a frame of 
blonde ambition and curves? 

Getting wacked... 

As Jack Deebs avoid muggers 
and dodge being wacked by the 
cartoons you created. You can 
jump a lot higher than in reality, 
and can stretch your arms out 
and smack doodles' from a 
distance. 

Cool World doesn't just 
condone violence, it 
rewards it, Everytime you 
pummel a doodle you get a 
nickel — very handy cos Jots 
of places won't let you 
through the door without a 
pocket full of mooJa. 

it's also a good idea to 
put your stash in the bank 
Jack, Cool World ain't 
friendly world and there's 
plenty of muggers after 
your cash. Give in and 
they'll let you go — 




otherwise you better be 
prepared to fight or get 
wacked. 

And another thing — 
Deebs ain't Michaef 
Jackson, so don't strut 
woL'w in one place. 
Keep moving around 
and you keep out of 
trouble. 
Communicate with 
people via word balloons. 
The object s to avoid trouble 
(ie. getting killed), maybe 
hook up with Holli, see the 
sights on the side, and get the 
heck out of Cool World. 

Slum and decay 

Based on the hit movie, the 
game translates well, They didn't 
take the horrific and disgusting 
look of the original animation and 
turn it inlo babble-gum ana pink 



fuzzy bunnies. The snes is perfect for 
rendering slum and decay — its 
graphic palette can handfe some mean 
shading and texture techniques. 

Characters aren't huge, but stand 
out without any problems from the 
background. Animation zips along right 
handily ma'am, plenty of frames give a 
smooth effect

re F you've sunk my battleship!' 

f How often have we heard or 

k uttered that fateful cry? 
Well now you can enjoy the fun and 
frolics only normally found by lobbing 
16 inch naval shells at each other, cos 
this classic board game's making its 
debut on the Boy, 

Use your harpoons, radars, freights 
and submarines to outwit the computer 
or a mate (difficult in one-play er cos 
the damned computer always seems 
to have more shots than you). 

Basic graphics and sound don't 
detract from this great family game. 
But whether if s worth paying loadsa 
dosh for a game you can play just as 
easily on a flat board is debatable. 
Available in November from 
Mindscape,

In the USA 




it's that time again folks — more 'mericanisms than you 
can shake a stick at. Here's the MANIC MARSHAL to fill 
you in on the hottest goss from across the water... 

A lethal mixture 

Ocean's known for taking movie titles 
and turning them into great computer 
games — thai s just what they're doing 
now for the snes. 
You're already seeing Cool World \Us 
issue (page 20), and next month well be 
bringing you previews of two other hot new 
titles — Lethal Weapon and The Addams 
Family 2: Pugsley's Scavenger Hunt. Lethal 
Weapon has you taking the slightly off cop 
Riggs through screen after screen of 
animated action and violence — with 
multiple missions and plenty of bad guys to 
wack, lt r s based on all three movies — so 
you know it's gotta be jammed with stuff to 
dol 

Addams Family 2 is a bit off beat as well 
- it's based on the new cartoon show just 
starting in the States, taken from one of the 
episodes yet to be seen here. 

Pugsley's in plenty of trouble — platform- 





Pugsley's in trouble 
in me bath and only 
you can save him in 
mis splashing 
Addams Family 
adventure (above)* 



action type and more — and must brave the 
horrors and bizarrities of the Addams Family 
abode in search of specific objects, 

The graphic power and strength of the 
snes is used to the max here. You wanna 
see what we mean, then better buy the next 
issue! 



It may not look like 
it, but that little 
bloke to the left 
with tfie gun in his 
hand is Mel Gibson, 
blasting away in 
the action-packed 
LeM Weapon. 



Itekking 
around... 



Star Trek is kinda like the Three Stooges 
— you either like it or can't stand it, 
We've mentioned the Spectrum 
Holobyte snes version before — it's still 
slated to appear early next year, 

The process from creative design to 
finished product's taking a bit r since 




Paramount Pictures (who own the rights) 
has to approve each step — along with all 
the other execs in line. But to whet your 
appetite before the inevitable preview, here 
are a few screens of the work in progress. 



PACE 24 M N FORCE M NOVEMBER 1992 



Fantastic Fortunes! 



Fair 




Telegames is looking at making a 
hand-held console similar in design 
to Nintendo's Garre Boy. The 
portable (which comes from Taiwan) 
has a large 3" diagonal screen with a 
green image. Controls are similar to what 
you expect, there's a headphone jack 
(stereo), and 'AA' batteries run the whole 
thing. 

Rumours are that it would retail for less 
than $50 (£25) with the cartridges coming in 
at a retail of under $20 i£1 0). The carls 
aren't compatible with Game Boy but you 
knew that, right? 

Very techy! 

Sony ju st perfected a new technique for 
putting three times the info on a 
CD ROM. It uses a blue laser — 
smaller beam than the ones used 
today — so it can compact' and read data 
better, A few years off, and it means junking 
conventional CD ROM players. 

You want videophones — okay, heres 
another corning up. Dictaphone's Future 
Phone has got a keyboard with headset built 
in, voice recognition and clear panel display. 
The panel becomes opaque to display 



messages from the computer end, 
answering machines, video from a call or 
multimedia use. And of course everything's 
handled by wireless transmission — no 
messy wiring here. 

Like really cool stuff? Then check out the 
latest Casio LCD colour TV for the car. It 
pops on the seat for viewing in the back (too 
dangerous for the driver, natch), gets power 
from batteries, and is mod looking for sure. 
Costs a bundle too — but high-tech ain't 
ever cheap! 

Them's 
fight in' words! 

II ou may have heard that Takara Corp. 

got the Neo-Geo license for 
■ converting and producing NEO 

games to snfs format. Well, they're 
due soon — and they look great, The first 
title's King of the Monsters (featured this 
issue on page 66) — fighting these terrible 
beasts is a treat. 

Then there's also Fatal Fury— a hot 
variation of the Street Fighter type with great 
animation and tul moves- You II be seeing 
this one soon, but here's a quick look at 
what to expect 



The good folks at Mayfair Games have given us a copy of the 
board game Myth 
Fortunes, based on 
the books, to give 
away to one lucky 
M-FORCEr.

NOVEMBER 1992 ■ N FORCE ■ PAGE 27 



Featured 




With ukulele 
in hand, and 
boomerang 
in his pocket, OZ 
spends a day in 
London with a band, 
a Game Boy and a 
flock of pigeons... 



Life's just full of coincidences... There I 
was the other day stroking through 
Soho Square in London dodging the 
kamikaze pigeons when I see the two of 
them fighting over a Game Boy. 

This girl with blonde hair's got a tight grip 
■on the ol 1 green screen while her foot's 
planted firmly in the stomach of some poor 
blighter trying to wrestle it back off her. 

Being the type of guy I am, I sauntered 
over to see if I could sort the problem out. 
Hang on a sec — the two of them look 
mighty familiar Arenl you guys in some 
Czechekoslovakian string quartet?' 

'NO!' she shouts as she flings an empty 
Tetris box at me. Tm Lucia, he's Sean, and 
we're in SunscreenV 

Ahh... that new dance band floating 



around in the charts a little while ago. What 
was trie name of the song? 

"Love L/ Afore/ she says, eyeballing me 
coolly while crunching through line 50 in 
Tetris. 

Thats the one. Went to 23 on the 
national chart. Pretty boppy tune, if I 
remember correctly. So why aren't they out 
signing autographs and riding around in 
limos instead of sitting in Soho Square and 
tugging on the end of a Game Boy. 

'Funny you should ask; he says, 
snatching the Boy off her and pounding 
through line 85. 

When you're in a band, there's a lot of 
travelling — that's where the Game Boy 
comes in. 

'Some games are so addictive, like St/per 
Mario Land, you can't stop playing them: 

But hold your horses — haven't I heard 
all this before? Aren't those sensational 
Australian singing sisters, the Minogues, 
great fans of the ol" Boy? Don't they ring 
each other regularly to compare scores.

Left It's just a 
wonderful 
magazine - but 
what- does the *N' 
stand for?! 



'Okay, so maybe it's true,' she says, 
pouncing on Tetris and hammering out line 
100. 

I've been told before I sound a bit like 
Kylie. I s'pose we are a little bit poppy...' 

Somehow I just couldn't see these two 
doing the Locomotion. So let's get serious. 
Fave games? 

Tm a Ma no fan, or anything with great 
graphics,' he says, BaWetoads is good, so 
is Dragon's Lair.' 

Lucia's a Tetris ten [what is it with female 
singers and falling blocks?!) 

1 think I just like organising things,' she 
replies. I don't like death and destruction/ 

So what else do these guys do when 
they're not fighting over a Game Boy under 
park benches in London?

'Well, we do have a Sega Mega Drive on 
the bus. . . 1 she says coyly, 

A Mega (spit) Drive (spit) of all things I 
Eeurghh! And I thought we were getting on 
so well See yaguys... 

I take one last look back. He's making a 
paper hat out of the latest copy of 
N-FORCE, she's waving a 1 10 -tine Tetris 
score about her head, and there's this 
nasty mess right in the middle of my note 
pad. 

'Damn these bleedin' pigeons! 1

we have come to 
expect from EA, The choice is 
yours here with four courses to play 
on and great in-game hints and tips 
from the two commentators. The 
animation of the swing's a little 
jerky but the scrolling as you foNow 
the ball in flight's fast and smooth. 
Unfortunately the rest of the game 
fails to match these high standard 
with very basic graphics and little if 
any background. It's a real shame 
because this really lets the game 
down. The control method with only 
one bar governing strength of swing 
and contact on the ball's far to 
twitchy to be consistent 
and leads to frustratio

Teeing off on o desolate course — it 
shows what happens when you sacrifice 
graphics for speed. Nasty — huh?

The 19th hole 

After trudging around three hard but enjoyable courses, 
Shades and I returned to the club house to compare 
notes. Both Pebble Beach and Waialae use the same 
gameplay with a few variations like action replay of 
shots. That's because they're part of a series by T & E 
Soft called True Golf Classics which aim to bring you the 
very best of the world's golf courses in the shape of the 
very best games. Which, if you're a golf nut like me, is 



great news. 

As for PGA, although it's slick, fast and professional it 
just can't compare with the other two. Much more 
emphasis is placed on speed and the result's a game 
wiih a very pronounced arcade feel but which lacks 
payability. 

If you want a good golf game any ot these will do — if 
however you want a great golf game True Golf Classics 
are the best choice.

SIMONS 
QUEST 
To get all the 
weapons enter 
this: 6Q2IT0* 




For those having difficulty 
scoring goats against Ireland 
(the team with the best 
goalkeeper) dribble the ball 
about one inch down the edge of the six 
yard box and shoot with [A]. Use your 
number 1 0 for best effect. This method 
works against the Nintendo teams but you 
have to beat the last defender otherwise he 
save the ball on the l»ne. Thanks to Zoltan 
Szotyori for these tips and he's also kind 
enough to send the codes for expert level, 
playing as Germany. 

Also a begrudging thanks to my little 
bruwer, Danny Rice, who's found a way to 
swerve penalties so they're almost 
impossible to save and it's really peeing me 
off! As you approach your penalty, hold 
down [L] and [R] and then as you kick apply 
after-touch. More curl than a Brazilian perm!

the level, go to the top right branch, dodge the acorns 
and boxing gloves and wait tor the boss to appear. Hit 
him three times to move onto the next level. 



■ Level A: The waterfall level's a real test of 
your flying skills. The difficulty's in navigating 
between pixie dust icons before the magic 
runs out and you plummet 20.000 feet to a 
watery death. As you enter, get the pixie dust 
and fly back left and up for an exlra life. 
Continue right, below the first tiger for 
another 1-Up (see picture). Go right picking 
up the treasure and the pixie dust, To waste 
the guardian, hover in the air and wait for 
him to pop his head out ol the side. Move left 
or right and stab. After three hits his white 
flag goes up and it's time to move onto the 
next level. 



■ Level 3: Now it's off to the 
sandy cavern for the first of the 
maze sections. This one's a 
real doddle and gives you a 
chance to pick up valuable 
items. The magic sword's 
found at the top right of the 
platforms before you reach the 
fruit. Get the pixie dust and fly 
to the top left corner for a 1 -

previous levels, a peaceful fly through 
the forests of Neverlands most

magic sword to collect which are 
essential to your mission.

and the maze of rooms. Go up in the

Now it's time for the show-down with 
Hook. 

■ Level 12: The final confrontation. 
This time Hook's back with a 
telescopic arm, Stay out of range until 
he launches his hook at you, then 
move in close and stab him. After the 
first hit, his hand falls off, a few more 
then his head drops off and you've 
done it! Time to kiss Tink goodbye and 
take the kids back home. All in a day s

attack pattern's similar to Rufio's in 
Level 1 . After a couple of parries he 
raises his sword lo attack. As soon 
as he lifts it, stab him! Repeat this 
process until the coward runs away.

a 1-lip. Drop down lo the 
bottom level and walk right

Jay him to rest. Defeat this beast and 
the prize is a piece of heart and a 
crystal. 

• To power-up during the game, visit 
the Pond of Happiness in the middle of

World for an interesting conversation 
with a member of the wind section! He 
lends you a shovel to dig up the flute in 
the Light World Haunted Grove. 
Return the Shovel and play the Flute

tombstones. Take a run at the stone 
and explore to find the Magic Cape. 
Warp at the Death Mountain portal to 
the Dark World. Fall into the cave and

sleeping camper. Fill these bottles with 
potions from the Magic Shop, The best 
potions the blue one which provides 
magic and energy.

Gremlins 2 

^jt^ Thanks to top tipster, Andy 
mT^L C' artte from Nottingham who's 

A\vVj been hard at work compiling a 

complete solution to this brilliant 
hand held platform romp. Your efforts have 
not gone unnoticed Andy — there's a host of 
Deekay UK Game Boy peripherals on their 
way to you. 

§ Level One — Inside the CATV studio: 

Collect the pencil and musical nole and walk 
under the first platform, using the musical 
note to kill the walking gremlin. Jump into 
the tool box which protects you. Be careful 
on the fast-moving conveyor belts and jump 
onto the second platform to collect an 
energy replenishing heart. As the woman 
gremlin walks towards you, jump over her. 
Climb up the vertical maze, using pencil 
notes to kill the gremlins appearing from the 
floor. At the top there's another heart. Jump 
over the spider when he reaches the top of 
the web. Jump the gaps and spring up to the 
highest platform. On the far right s a large 
heart restoring full energy. Pick it up and use 
the platforms to travel over the conveyor 
belts below. To kill Mohawk, run across to 
meet him, stand your ground and hammer 
away on [B], He soon gets fed up and walks 
away. 

• Level 2 — The Genetics Lab: Use the 

spring to bounce across four thorns and 
climb the blocks to collect the tool box and a 
small heart. Spring up to the third horizontal 
platform to avoid enemies. Jump left onto 
the two small conveyors and collect the 
pencil. Climb the second set of steps and 
use the conveyors to avoid all enemies 
betow. Use the three springs to cross the 
high wall. Do this quickly and you wont need 
to use the musical note. Once across you 
have a choice of two routes. Running along 
the ground's easier but try climbing 
platforms and springing up to the highest 
point. Jump onto the square block and and it 
carries you to a large heart. 

The Bat Gremlin takes a lot of damage 
and releases three small bats after each 
descent. When he attacks, push [UP] and 
jab him with the pencil from below. Using 
this method he soon dies. 

Level 3 — The System Control Centre: 
Spring from the first raised platform, twisting 



across in mid air, to collect the hidden 
pencil, Climb the next set of steps and pick 
up the tool box. Journey across the top ot 
the large laughing gremlin, pick up the 
cassette recorder and walk back left, 
underneath him. At the next spring Jump 
left and collect two more cassette recorders. 
After you've killed the fire-spitting gremlin, 
use the three springs to get over the high 
wall and pick up the cassette recorder. 
Cross the platforms into the tunnels, 
standing in the gaps and jumping the fire 
balls. Kill the fire-spitting gremlin then jump 
on the conveyor belts and bounce to the 
highest platform and pick up the small heart. 

When the end-of-level Electric Gremlin 
materialises, stab him with the pencil while 
jumping over the lightning bolts. 
• Level 4: The pencil's essential and can 
be found on a block above the second 
spring. Climb to the top, go right and you're 
faced with three pits full of thorns. Drop into 
the pit and pull left on the joypad to land on 
the spring. Cross the pits and collect the 
small energy heart at the end. Climb the set 
of steps made out ot conveyor belts to pick 
up another heart. Drop down and dodge the 
gremlin throwing rooks. Don't waste time 
trying to kill him — you can't I Pass 
underneath him and spring up to find a tool 
box and another small heart. 

At the next stone thrower, spring left and 
collect the cassette recorder. Do NOT use 
the musical note as it's essentia] to cross the 
invisible maze. With the note the maze 
becomes visible making life much easier. 
Exit the maze and climb through the vertical 
maze of tunnels. Bounce on the springs and 
grab the large heart to restore Gizmo to full 
strength. Now for the grand finale! 

Spider Gremlin's one mean dude. Jump 
onto the floating web and dodge the small 
spiders as they fall. When you get a clear 
shot, aim your trusty bow and arrow at the 
spider's head and fire. A couple of well 
placed shots and the game's history. Now 
take a long rest— you 1 ve earned itl 

For those who need a little help, these Pro 
Action Replay codes will come in handy.

You have the choice of six 
characters: the Mountie, Macho Man, 
Sid Justice, Jake the Snake, the 
Undertaker and he who without no 
WWF game would be complete — 
Hulk Hogan. 

There are one- or two-player 
options (via a game link), three levels 
of difficulty, three types of game and 
regular or Steel Cage matches. 

Spandex ckapers 

The gameplay's pretty good. All the 
moves of the snes are here — slower 
and basically animated but you still 
have the full range from head-butts 
and stomps to su pieces. 

Even with the number of options the 



game offers, it realfy only comes into 
its own in the two -player mode. The 
competition and gameplay tends to get 
repetitive — there are areas where you 
can trap an opponent on the ropes and 
just kick him until you deplete his entire 
energy bar. 

Basically if s a good game but if you 
donl have a mate and a game link to 
use the two- player mode, think very 
carefully before you buy.

really entertaining and

| 'Barcelona! It was the first 
time that we met'. SHADES 
goes Karaoke crazy — sure 
beats his track and field skills... 




Feeling energetic? Get out of that 
armchair and get on yer best 
trainers cos there are 1 8 knee- 
tearing events to conquer in this 
physical assault. A bit late for the 1992 
Olympics but Capcom got there in the 
end! 

On your marks 

Starting with the 100m dash, athletes 
move through the 1 10m hurdles, 
marathon, long jump, javelin, triple 



jump, shot put, high jump, weighting 
vaulting horse and swimming events. 
There isn't even 
enough time to have a 
breather and a cup of 
tea between races! 

Everything moves 
along at a fast pace 
with a Sports News 
commentator keeping players up to 
date on the action. The Marathon's the 
strange event. Split into six sections, 



Everything 
moves along at 
a fast pace 




each runner sets the speed Ihey wish 
to run at, then it's straight back to the 
other events, 

Get set, go 

This type of sporting game has a 
charm that Keeps players addicted to 
the end. After surviving the endless 
shoot -em-ups and violent games, it 
makes a refreshing change to do a 

spot of swimming and 
javelin. 

With a few mates, 
stage your very own 
Olympics in your 
bedroom! The game 
caters for up to eight 
players, with the remainder being 
played by the computer. 

You can select your own country 
but strangely, all competitors look the 
same! All medals won are awarded at 
an animated ceremony and records 
can be saved to the battery back-up. 

All N-FORCErs that like a bit of 
sport but can't be bothered to get out 
of bed in the morning take a look at 
Gold Medal Chaii&nge '92, it could be 
the exercise you're looking for!

Oh no! 
We're all 
seeing 
spots before our 
eyes. SHADES is 
the only man for 
this game, dark 
glasses make him 
immune... 



Bubbles, bubbles everywhere and 
nothing fizzy to drink! These 
bubbles are of the deadly variety, 
ready to take your head off. 
Armed with nothing 
but a harpoon gun 
and an interesting hat 
it's time to go pop- 
ping. Progress 
through levels by 
popping bubbles to fill 
a meter three times 
or take a trip around 
the world with lots of gorgeous 
backdrops. 

There are barriers to explode 



A fantastic 
idea, perfectly 
converted to 
the snes 



platforms to jump on and ladders to 
climb. Large bubbles separate into two 
smaller versions when hit. Shoot these 
and they divide again until the screen's 
packed with deadly multi-coloured 
balls, 

The best weapon's the laser, the 
harpoon pops anything it touches, 
while the grappling hooks fire and 
attach to platforms. 

Clocks freeze action, timers add 
more time, blue blobs give a forcefieid 
and dynamite explodes every bubble 
into a tiny one — total mayhem. 

Pop tarts 

Super Pang is a fantastic idea, 
perfectly converted to the snes with 
one BIG exception — the two-player 
game's been ousted! Now we're 
confined to lonely one-player games — 
pah 

Besides that one 
quibble, this is a 
brilliant arcade game, 
which should give 
coin-op freaks hours ot 
fun. If you're the kind 
who likes blasting 
brightly-coloured balls 
while seeing scenery from around the 
world, give this a rap!

f Hi there, I 
U wanna be 
I your 
special friend. 
SHADES puts on a 
blonde wig and 
goes all girly... 



w 



e all remember those hazy 
summer days down the 
bottom of the garden, 
playing with dolls and having 
tea parties. What? You don't? 
Damn, my secret's out. I ll never 
be able to show my face down 
the pub again! 
p Almost every girl s dream 
is to become Barbie and live 
the life of a jet-setting 
glamour model (cobblers! 
—Ed) (yeah!— Clam), 
the boys can always 
dream of being her 
'interesting' 
boyfriend, Ken I 



This new Barbie game brings the 
cutesy chunk ol plastic to life in a pink 
and fluffy platform game. 

Barbie's gone for a snooze to get 
all bright and lovely for her big date 
with Ken. While asleep she has a 
strange dream all about shopping, 
mermaids and giant trench fries. She 
needs the help of all her friends to find 
an outfit for the magical Fantasy Ball. 

Three worlds have 
been created for Bar- 
bie, starting with the 
shopping mall. There's 
an underwater world 
where the blonde 
bimbo goes all fishy 
and becomes a mer- 
maid and the 50's 
soda shop world, packed with sticky 
buns and greasy burgers, but watch 
out — she might go all fat and spotty! 

The usual platform bitz 1 n k bobs are 
littered around, with blocks, power- ups 
and obstacles to avoid. Barbie's 
armed, not with a Uzi 9mm, but with 
charms (nice). 

Bows, diamonds and hearts have 
different effects when thrown at a 
friend. Little dogs, birds and cats help 



Can someone 
please pass a 
bucket — I 
wanna puke! 



by chasing away meanies and opening 
up new exits- It'd be more interesting if 
the dogs chased the cats and the cats 
mauled the birds! 

Carrot coughing 

Can someone please pass a bucket 
cos I'm going to chuck. This Barbie 
game's the worst pile of pus on the nes 
for a long time. 

The daft damsel 
struts around the first 
world, ali skinny and 
lanky with a stupid 
pair of white high 
heels and wonders 
why she keeps 
getting knocked over! 
Of course, the 
loveable character can't die, she just 
wakes up from her dream and loses 
her sleep. Lets face it, she needs all 
the beauty sleep she can get! 

Unless you're a sad r wimpy 
individual with a fetish for frilly dresses 
I'd stay well away from Barbie. In my 
view most people would be too 
embarrassed to go to a shop and buy 
this anyway!

This is basketball at its best with a 
game based more on team work 
than individual snowing off! Up to 
four players can gather around 
the nes and play in teams for twoon-

As with all sports sims there are 
tons of options — one-on-one or two-

straight in the hoop and one In 
the eye for the opposition, 



team or ihe opposition. There ana 
exhibition or tournament games and 
steals can have easy, normal or hard 
levels. 

Dirty dribbling 

The sport has converted well onto the 
nes. All the visuals are excellent with 
some nice animation and an excellent 
sequence where players shoot for a 
basket. This flips the view to behind 
the back board with baits zooming out 
of the screen I 

There's reasonable sampled 
speech — phrases like 'three minutes" 
Stocking' and take it back' have been 
digitised in the traditional manner — 
not bad at all I 

Of course, this type of game isn't 
much fun on your own, but as a four- 
player extravaganza it s great! Just 
select a basketball character to play 
with statistics flicking onto the screen 
and away you go! There's plenty to 
choose from but unfortunately no 
women — but then basketball was 
always highly sexist. 

For a great game of basketball with 
your nes, have a dribble with 
Roundbat! — it's bail-bo uncingly good

storming an enemy stronghold, 
capturing a train or a pitched battle over 
open ground for control of a bridge. 
This is where the arcade action 
comes in with poor I eft 'right scrolling 
beat-em- ups for the fort and train 
sections and the crappiest troop 
combat sequences Pve seen since the 
Spectrum 16K. 

Sound strategy 

The idea behind this is sound — 
combining historical scenarios with 
strategy and arcade action — but lack 
of thought lets it down badly. 

The graphics just aren't up to 
scratch and certain elements ot the 
game are frustrating beyond belief. You 
easily get trapped on the fort-storming 
stages with no hope of success. 

Reafly this should have been much 
better — there's no excuse for 
producing games as way off the mark 
as this. In short, give this one a miss.

but you need a bath 
afterwards? It's better to play the sport 
on your Game Boy! 

Car driving console games come In 
two styles. There's the aerial view with 
fiddly cars and rotating track or the 
more realistic view with the backs of 
cars and a semi -3D effect. Ferrari 
Grand Prix Challenge has gone for the 
latter with some excellent graphics to 
show off.

It's a reasonable attempt at motor 
racing with some good lookrng scrolling 
backdrops, zippy cars and messages 
from the pits appearing on the dash 
board. But it's the presentation and 
intro screens thai make the game. 

Digitised pictures of Ferraris, a 
scrolling line-up sequence, animated 
cars emerging from the pits and a 
great champagne celebration. This all 



goes into creating a fun and addictive 
game that stands out from the crowd. 

This is one of the most enjoyable 
racing games I've found on the 
handheld. The music's great, which 
makes a change for the Game Boy! 
Sound effects are the usuaJ imitation 
lawnmower type, but that's no

Green,

Monstersl No, that's not what's 
lurking inside Gunns' underpants, it s 
the latest offering from Takara 

Amusements. 



The object of the game (surprise, 
surprise!) is to become king of the 
monsters. Defeat your fellow monsters 
smash a few peaceful cities, kick the 
crap out of the Japanese army and 
you've got it made! 

Choose one of lour characters — 
Astro Guy {looking a 
right prat in tight blue 
spandex), Beetle Mania 
(looking surprisingly like 
a beetle), Geon (read 
that as being 'Godzilla') 
or Rocky (a walking, 
talking house brick!). 

The terrifying titans 
have a variety of moves — kicks, 
punches, throws and holds to knock 
opponents to the ground. 

Once they're sprawled out, jump on 
em and pin 'em down. If s all over in 
three seconds unless your opponent 
summons up enough strength to knock 
you off. 

The action takes place in Japan, 
home of all those late night, tacky 



monster movies. As the pair of you 
fight, you take sizable 
pieces of the city with you and 
generally make a right mess of what 
was once a friendly little town! Oh well, 
I guess that serves the Japanese right 
for giving us Toyota cars and karaoke! 

In the options 
menu, choose the 
starting level, number 
of continues, difficulty 
level and loads ot 
other things. 

Take on the 
computer or play 
against another 
manic monster player! The two-player 
option's a riot, with the pair of you 
tearing through the oriental 
skyscrapers knocking seven shades of 
sushi out of each other! 

The army trundle on occasionally, 
so teach em a lesson by stomping on 
a tank or battleship and then use it to 
club your opponent with — loadsa fun, 
but no bloodshed (damn!) 



It's ended up 
as nothing 
more than a 
limp lizard! 



Unfortunately the game sucks in a 
few minor areas: the gameplay and 
interest factor! Once you've slammed 
Geon into the floor or used Rocky's 
head as a pogo stick, the fun starts to 
dribble away. What could have been a 
real monster of a game ends up as 
nothing more than a limp lizard! The 
large sprites are nothing to shout about 
and the in-game FX are a real let 
down. 

Beat-' em -up fans might love it, but 
Td stick to something a bit tougher like 
picking the fluff from your navel! It s a 
lot more terrifying! ED 72% 






Pick up your opponent and 
slam him to the ground. A

enough of these and you power

through any and all

Mission one: 
Assault — skim thro- 
ugh the clouds and 
over cities to take 
out hordes of invaders. 
Watch out for power-ups hidden inside 
large chunks of rock and flak towers 
that took like bits of the parallax 
background. 

Mission two: Under water —fight 
against the current flowing right to left, 
avoiding the vertical barriers that rush 
towards you leaving only a small gap 
at top or bottom. There's a bonus 



An enjoyable 
game but just 
far too

stage 1 off the top of the screen at about 
the half way mark lull of power-ups — 
but beware, most are booby-trapped. 

Mission three: Bio cave — this 
level's a real can of worms, Dodge 
through caves and narrow passages — 
much easier at reduced speed. The 
only way to do this is with practice but 
use your E special weapon to see off 
the end-of-level 
guardian. 

Mission four: 
Deep core — speed 
along the vast 
underground cavern 
deep beneath the 
planet s surface. 
Down here the bad 
guys come at you thick and fast and 
the guardian's the biggest yet. Wait 'til 
his belly section detaches and blast it! 

Mission five: Destroyer— just an 
enormous ship on this level! Blast 
everything on the exterior, then enter 
the main body via the hatches to reach 
three interior compartments. All you 
have to do then is to destroy these to

This great new industrial hoover Is ideal 
for removing even the toughest of dirt 
particles. Blast it away fo r lots of points. 



clear the level! Cinch — whadya

End game — what about the other 
three levels 7 Well they're a ; . darrn 
hard but watch out for the blue whirl- 
pools which hold your ship stationary 
and the blue rings spewed out by the 
Level Seven guardian — avoid these 
cos if you touch them they're replaced 
by lots of nasty bombs! 

Unfortunately, apart from a few neat 
bits of scaling, this is nothing new. It's 
the standard blast-the-smeg-out-of- 




anything -in -sight formula with hardly 
any original touches. Options-wise you 
get four difficulty settings to keep you 
busy, but with only limited continues it 
takes ages to complete — the difficulty 
level's just set too high which makes it 
just far to hard to get into or start to 
enjoy. 

Phalanx is really enjoyable but just 
too unoriginal to be considered 
anything more than a better than

There's some 
monkey business 
going on around 
here! SHADES goes back 
to his primeval roots... 



Feeling fruity? I hope so cos 
there's some juice to spill in this 
arcade corker. Spanky the 
monkey's a streetwise hairy kind 
of hero with a large collection of hats to 



show off . Sounds weird eh? 

It all started with a wicked witch and 
her pet crow. Spanky was strolling 
through the woods when she cast a 
spell sending bricks from heaven 




These bricks quickly formed into 
wild towers and trapped our hero. 

The cackling culprit 
wanted to use Spanky 
as a playmate and 
turned the fruit in his 
picnic into monsters 
tor a bit of a laugh! To 
escape from this dark 
world, collect all keys 
from the fruity foes 
and defeat end -of -level produce to kill 
the witch — easy life! 

To kill monsters, throw a magic 



A refreshing 
change from 
boring, run-of- 
the-mill games 




Talk about gorillas in the mist mis one is creating his own with the fire from his 
bream! He might bake that poor, defenceless apple! 



Spanky goes all country bumpkin like 
with his trendy straw hat. Jumping in 
the cannon will send him flying! 



bubble into the air which explode and 
grow bigger and better every time 
Spanky heads it. 

The strange 
gameplay of Spanky '$ 
Quest takes some 
getting used to, I've 
never come across a 
game before where 
you spend the whole 
time heading a ball. It 
certainly comes out top in originality, 
especially with the hats throw in! 

Weird and wonderful 

The traps found in some levels are 
great fun. Gorilla statues spitting fire, 
metal-squashing boulders, egg 
cannons firing birds, fire crackers and 
human cannons ! With all this and 
some excellent animated backdrops 
there's never a dull moment. 

For a refreshing change from 
boring. run-oMhe-rmll games get 
Spank/'s Quest There's plenty of 
monkeying around, it's bound to give 
you a good laugh, and you'll definitely 
have a ball I

P.G. Tips? Naw, 
GUNNS W SHADES 
just want to bounce 
their balls, have some 
Spanky hanky panky an' 
ape it up a bit... 




Blow them bubbles, over 'ere son on 
me ead No, nothing to do with football 
— It's that cheeky monkey again and 
he's playing with his balls once more. 
Bounce your way through five 
worlds and 68 levels avoiding mutant picnic fruit 
and the unwanted attentions of a nasty crow. 

Shame about this really — It just don't come up 
to scratch on the payability scale at ail. The major 
problem s the way the sprites flicker making 
distance judging and stuff damn difficult. 
Graphically, it's a real Let down —we've seen how a 
Game Boy and snes game can look and play equally 
as well in the case of Parodius, so there's no excuse 
for a naff conversion like this. Even the sound's 
limited to an annoyingly repetitive beepy tune. 

Sorry guys — nice idea but way off the mark. Just 
not good enough, m ust try ha rder, G UMNS 5 7% 



BELOW: jump like 
mod or suffer o 
boxing glow up 
the bum! 




Always try to batter your 
enemies from below because 
you need to head the ball to 
turn it Into an attacker! The trick 
is to bounce it long enough to 
create a good weapon. 



What have they done with the conversion 
of Spanky 's Quest on the Game Boy? 
They ve changed the cute and cuddly 
monkey hero into a bush baby character 
and altered the way the little chap attacks. 
This makes the gameplay totally different to the snes 
version, but it s still quite fun. Spanky s Quest is one of 
those great Game Boy arcade games that you can come 
back to again and again, especially with the special 
password system. Hours of fun, SHARES 72%

difficult to get up some of me oonks. Hie yellow 
barriers will stop the dude flying off the edge so he 
con move like the wind! 





Spinning tops and 3D landscapes, this Is one smart 
looking game, but What a devil to control Okay, so It 
looks like Marble Madness, but It plays a hell of a lot 
better, The only niggle is that the control system's 
extremely twite hy and the need to be pixel perfect's 
essential. This aside, the multi-view isometric playing area's great to 
behold, and the animation and scrolling are both smooth and flicker 
tree with no perceivable slow down. With ioadsa levels and a very high 
challenge level this is a must for puzzlers everywhere. GUNNS 78% 




Spin me round, like a record 
baby! SHADES goes for a 
P 1 twizzy in the middle of the 
room and gets all dizzy! 



Spinning tops have brought hours 
of tun to kids around the world. I 
used to have a great one that 
hummed and knocked the cat 
flying it he went near it! The spinner in 
Spindizzy Worlds has more of a 
purpose. Called GERALD, it stands for 
Geographic Environmental 
Reconnaissance And Land Mapping 
Device. 

GERALD starts with a full fuel bar 
and a goal to reach. Collecting 
diamonds and pods 
increases the fuel and 
triggers warps and 
exits around the level. 
Each stage has its 
own puzzles to solve, 
starting with simple 
tasks to introduce the game elements 
and becoming frustrating 
impossibilities! 

Great gyrations! 

Stages are shown in isometric 3D, and 
are made up of pillars, warps, switches 
and different terrains. In addition to the 
normal ground tiles, there are rubber 
ones for bouncing on, icy ones for 
skidding, lava r lifts, sand and even 
pretty ones covered m flowers! 
Spindizzy Worlds is a game unlike 



any other on the snes, Consoles are 
famed for their platform adventures 
and shoot-'em-ups. but this creates a 
whole new genre of game playing! 
Some of the manoeuvres are highly 
intricate with pixel-perfect precision 
essential. Other levels are more rough 
and ready with chutes to fly down and 
walls to jump. 

Wicked whirling! 

This is a real thinker's game. Blasting. 

beating or bouncing 
fans can leave the 
room right now! From 
start to finish the 
game looks like an 
executive toy with lots 
of shiny balls and 
geometric shapes — it's quite fun to 
play though. 

Puzzles involving switches, lifts, 
one-direction gates and warps are set 
well out of the reach of your average 
game fiend. The creators of Spindizzy 
Worlds have aimed for (he more 
advanced player. 

If you feel you are up to a highly 
sophisticated spin about then consider 
Spindizzy Worlds — it'll drive you 
round the twist!

Oh no, it's

GUNNS in 
Wales or has he 
just burst his pipe 
again? 



here's been a bit of a cold snap in 
the neighbourhood. All the pipes 
I have burst, the kitchen's flooded. 
I the basement's full to the brim 
and you don't wart to know what's 
happened in the toilet! 

In this classic puzzler, save houses 
from flooding by replacing broken 
sections of drainage. Run sections of 
pipe from the water main to a point 



where it joins the main supply. 

Sounds easy huh? Unfortunately no. 
Feed the pipes which have to be a 
minimum length and are randomly 
generated, a la Tetris. around all sorts 
of obstacles, against the clock. 

U-bend 

There are extras to buy including more 
lives, stops for the timer and distance 
adjusters to reduce the minimum length 
of the sections. 

Simple but effective sums up the 
graphics, but lack of decent background 
music on a snes cart's inexcusable. 
This is a good little puzzler but the 
game has no depth. 

Is it worth £50? Well, when you 
consider the snes's capability to 
produce excellent graphics, sound and 
animation the answer has to be no,

Singe, as her gaoler. Heavy stuff! 

As Dirk the Daring, free Daphne by

Use a sword and throwing axes to 
aid you in this daring adventure, The
